base64 -- should b64encode introduce line breaks?
by Bill Janssen Sept. 15, 2007

Sept. 15, 2007

I see that base64.b64encode and base64.standard_b64encode no longer introduce line breaks into the output strings, as base64.encodestring does. Shouldn't there be an option on one of them to do this? Bill

import file extensions
by tomer filiba Sept. 15, 2007

Sept. 15, 2007

a quick question: i'm working on a pythonic build system, where the build scripts are plain python files. but i want to differentiate them from normal python files (.py) by a different suffix (say .pyy), but then i can't import them. so i'm wondering, is there a quick way to just add another extension to import mechanism? or do i have to write a fully fledged import hook? -tomer

SSL and asyncore update (and SSL_shutdown)
by Bill Janssen Sept. 15, 2007

Sept. 15, 2007

I've now got an HTTPS server (more importantly, one built on asyncore and SocketServer and BaseHTTPServer), running in the test suite. Also, I think that, for the moment, I'm going to take ssl.ssl_shutdown() out of the library. The state machine implemented at the GoogleSprint really only does the client side of SSL_shutdown(); it will take a bit more work for the server side. I'll check this in this weekend, and update the 2.3-compatible package. Bill

OK, the following patch to setup.py works for mingw32. You need to set 2 variables - 1. The location where you installed gnuwin32 2. Whether … [View More]

Windows package for new SSL package?
by Bill Janssen Sept. 13, 2007

Sept. 13, 2007

I can't figure out how to build a Windows package for ssl-1.1.tar.gz, and probably don't have the tools to do it anyway. I presume that both a Windows machine and Visual Studio (because there's a C extension) is required? Anyone out there who's interested in the challenge? It's at http://www.parc.com/janssen/transient/ssl-1.1.tar.gz. Incidentally, there's no documentation in the package; instead, just use the development documentation at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html. Bill
